I didn't even try to disconnect the short hose from the mixing elbow to the muffler......cut it with a drumel tool.....quick, easy.....and can be done with one hand!

Putting the new one on was more challenging....but after repeated attempts to bend that 'hard walled hose' and I heated it with a heat gun, I figured out how to get the leverage I needed to bend it onto the muffler intake.

Doing this stuff when you are contorted in ways you are not meant to be makes the beer afterwards all that more appreciated.

Absolutely. I think that hours of heat on that hose/mixer elbow connection makes it impossible to remove without cutting it off. I keep a section of 2" exhaust hose stuck in the back of the boat, just in case I need to do it again. Maybe next time I'll try some Permatex #2 gasket sealant, which handles extended high temps without getting crusty. There's always something new to try and figure out.

The hardest part was the short hose interfacing
the elbow with the muffler and I had a problem removing and reconnecting. There doesn't appear to be any short cuts unless you are willing to cut off
the interface hose and replace it with a new one.
